I drove for a bakery back in the day and (at my boss's suggestion) kept a cop box at the ready at all times. No sticky glazed, no powdered unless I had wet naps to go with them. The cops were usually the ones who made the donut jokes first and only troopers ever gave me any trouble.

The Fit is a 2019, it uses the same bulbs as the Civic and I had spares left over. I haven't had to change the bulbs in it as I've only had it for 2 years and it had brand new bulbs when I bought it. Maybe I'll consider LEDs when it comes time to replace them, but now that I drive a lot less it...

I had a family friend do almost all my mechanic work for nearly 20 years and he had to charge me $850 to replace the leaky heater core in my 88 Lincoln Mark VII LSC. He had to tear apart the entire dash to get at the damn thing. I loved that damn car, but it was such a pain in the balls...

I never tried the LEDs in the Civic due to how bulky they were. I didn't see how I would be able to cram that in to the driver's side. At least with the passenger side I could just pull the battery. I've got a pair of Sylvania's in the glove box of the Fit for whenever they go, but I've never...

Hopefully the Fit won't be as bad. At least I'm full WFH now so I'm not changing the headlights every 2 years like I used to.

The first time I had to change the headlights in my 05 Civic, I ended up calling a garage after half an hour of frustration with the driver's side. It was a Saturday and I had gotten a fix it ticket the night before and had to go back to work that night and this was the only place I could find...

That's not even the Tower of Power's final form. Behold and despair.

I don't understand what's going on here and I don't want to.

I see no reason why the sequel shouldn't have it's own thread.

That's the price of making the laptop as thin as it is.

After the backpack warranty thing, GN clarified their position on LMG. They don't view them as fellow youtubers anymore and see them as just another company. When they fuck up and it's relevant to what GN does, they will cover it.

There was a time when Win10 would see monitors connected by DisplayPort as being disconnected when the went to sleep. Ever since then I just turn my monitors off when I'm away from the desktop.

@pharmakos this isn't your chatGPT spam thread.

Bad @Bandwagon

True. This is as good an excuse as any for an upgrade if you're willing to spend the money. A real upgrade will not be cheap and you're rolling the dice as to how quiet the prebuilt will be. If it was me, I would put the guts in a bigger, better case, replace the fans and maybe the CPU cooler...

Swapping out the video card is simple. You just have to make sure to seat the power cable on the 4000 series properly or you'll burn your house down. No biggie.

Might want to look in to undervolting the 3080ti and see how that goes. Minimal performance loss and costs nothing.

Dude. Noctuas are both quiet and stylish. If I ever decide to go all out on a PC build looks wise, it will be all Noctua beige and brown.

I also use headphones when gaming, though they are open back so I can hear the fans ramp up under load. Heat isn't bad at all, but it is in my living room, not in a small room that would heat up fast. The 3080ti is doing you no favors as they had to ramp up the power to get the extra...

Your hardware is very similar to mine. I'm running a 5800X, 32 GB RAM, 3080 10GB, 1440p main monitor. It's in a Phanteks P500A with 3 140mm Noctuas in front, a 120mm rear and an Arctic LFII 360mm top exhaust. It sits right on my desk and is silent at idle and reasonably quiet under load.

True. the 4000 series is significantly more efficient than the 3000s. Dropping in a 4080 would improve thermals.

That looks like a Corsair 4000D airflow, which is a decent case for thermals. Are those 120mm fans in the front? I don't know how good the stock Corsair fans are, but some 140mm Noctuas could cut down on noise. I'm guessing the top mounted CPU radiator is 240mm, a 360mm would improve things. I...

Nurses and doctors I understand as they are imported from all over the world. It's the unit secretaries and other support staff that can barely speak english too.

An older, slower PC uses less power and generates less heat. That means less cooling is necessary and fans can run at lower speeds. A newer, more powerful machine can definitely be quiet if built correctly. Water cooling for the CPU, a good airflow focused case with bigger fans so they can run...

Why can't hospitals hire staff that can communicate in intelligible english when that's part of their damn job?

First off, Desktop Computers for your general desktop building/purchasing advice. Secondly, was the PC quiet enough to start off with and got louder over time? If so, a good cleaning of the internals and repasting the CPU could quiet it down.

@Chris , @Lumi , the religion thread is thataway. Either take your religion discussion there or tie this back in to aliens and the like. I'll even move your posts over there if you want to continue the discussion. Getting complaints from the thread enthusiasts is unusual and you know how much...

The last time I looked, I couldn't find one for reasonable price that would even do 1440p @ 144hz. I just have my work laptop hooked up to one of the other monitor inputs and switch inputs on the monitor itself. For the keyboard and mouse, I have a logitech G915, so the bluetooth connection on...

I see Lanx has you covered on everything else, but what you're looking for here is a KVM switch. Since those are only 1080p monitors, the cheap ones should do the job. Higher resolution monitors need a switch with more bandwidth that the 4K 60mhz of the cheap ones...

They're only charging $60 for these grey boxes. Hot damn.

I am going to be absolutely godawful at this and love every second of it.

@Brahma

Until I finally started working from home full time, I would often have to wait for horse crossing on my way home. The track is on one side of the street and the stables are on the other. If a rider is within a few hundred feet of the road and even so much as glances that way, they shut down...

Well, it has gotten warmer in the last couple months in most places. Might want to check temps and maybe fiddle with fan settings.
